H95 — Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified
ICD-10-CM codes H95 cover intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified, within diseases of the ear and mastoid process. The block holds 49 codes across 1 category, of which 36 are billable and 13 are header codes that cannot be submitted on a claim.
What else to watch in H95
- 12 codes are laterality-specific. They come in left and right pairs, and the pair is mutually exclusive on a single site: coding both without a bilateral code is a contradiction a scrubber should catch before the payer does.
- 26 codes are named in Medicare coverage policies. An LCD or NCD lists them as supporting medical necessity, or explicitly as not supporting it. Which applies depends on the MAC for your state.
